1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: Cardiologists use the distal radial artery (dRA) approach in daily clinical practice. This method is gradually being applied in neuroendovascular treatment. However, limited studies have been reported concerning tumor embolization using small-bore guidance via dRA. Case Presentation: Five consecutive tumoral cases underwent endovascular embolization via the dRA approach. The right dRA was punctured, with manual confirmation of pulsation or under the guidance of ultrasonography, using a 22-G plastic cannulation needle. After the insertion of a 0.021-inch guidewire, a dilator of a 4-Fr sheath enlarged the puncture site. The 22-G plastic cannulation needle was replaced with an 18-G cannulation needle, and a 0.035 guidewire was inserted to introduce a small-bore guide. A TEMPO4 (Cordis, Miami Lakes, FL, USA; outer diameter: 1.35 mm) or a 3.6-Fr JB2 (Gadelius Medical, Tokyo, Japan; outer diameter: 1.2 mm) was used in 4 cases to convey embolization materials, whereas a 4-Fr, 16-cm sheath (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan; outer diameter: 2 mm) combined with a 4-Fr SY3 (Gadelius Medical; outer diameter: 1.4 mm) was used in 1 case. Trisacryl gelatin microspheres or Conclusion: Tumor embolization using small-bore guide via the dRA approach was completed without any complications.
